Majority of Bundy strikes are balls that those boys can’t seem to lay-off off , they get a few to recognize slider and not swing he would have to change pitch mix

Exactly. He throws his slider for a ball 90% of the time. Lay off it.

"It can be frustrating for a hitter when you get the count in your favor, the pitch is center cut and you miss it."

Yeah no shit Sherlock.

Welcome to the Seattle Mariners.

He needs to hit more than zero though. In 2019 he hit 7 in less than 400 PAs, then he only hit 2 in 200 PAs last season and now ZERO. Very bizarre.

If he could put up .290/.360/.400 and play solid defense you'd never hear he a peep from me. Even if he only hits like 4 hrs in a season.

Fletcher hit .290 with 6 HRs but that is only a .384 SLG but I get what you are saying.

Swings at ball four. Jesus Christ these guys can't hit.

Worse was the 3-1 fastball that was perfectly in the middle of the plate he couldn't hit.

Good time for Crawfords first bomb.

JP's stance has also changed. Hands are much lower.

If Crawford can keep this up, I don't really care if he doesn't hit for power. Put him at the bottom of the order, and get him on base for the top of the order.
